4 Claims.

The invention relates to a sectional ready made house, as described in the present specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings that form part of the same. 7 .The invention consists essentially in the accessibility furnished by the constructional members in reaching the bolts and fastenings and in making connections for the lights and conveniences as well as constructing at the factory complete sections including these connections and fastening members as pointed out in the claims for novelty following a description in detail of the sections of the buiIding the manner of putting them together and the situation of the said connections. Y

The objects of the invention are to construct at the factory the sections of a house complete for erection at the desired place and to include in these sections means, for reaching the different fastenings and for concealing these fastenings as well as installing the electric outlets and the plumbing connections in the original sections; to effect an advance in the production of ready made dwellings and other buildings so that they will be factory finished in so far as walls, roof and connections for convenience are concerned and thereby bring down to the lowest the cost of putting up buildings in the country, the city, and other places, and at the same time standardize the structures in so far as quality and rigidity are concerned, and generally to provide durability and efliciency in ready to erect buildings.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a sectional perspective view of the erected house showing the interior from one end.

Figure 2 is a fragmentary vertical sectional.

view through the foundation, wall sections and roof section.

Figure 3 is a perspective detail of a wall sec tion complete.

Figure 4 is a rear perspective view of the wall section shown in Figure 3.

Figure 5 is a grouping of fragmentary parts to the house before assembly.

Figure 6 is a perspective detail of a floor section.

Figure '7 is an elevational view of four wall sections broken away centrally thereacross and 50 showing the frame work of the sections and heating and plumbing installations as well as electrical wiring and outlets.

Figure 8- is an enlarged fragmentary view showing an electrical wiring and outlets in two sections ready for assembly.

Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the various figures.

Referring to the drawings, the house is made of units or sections bolted together and connected in concealed joints.

The basement sections comprising the walls 16 and the posts I! made of cement or concrete furnish a very solid foundation for the house. The anchor bolts l8 extend from the walls l6 and the posts l1. 10

The various wall sections of the houseare made of the wooden frame I9 with the studding 20 extending upwardly from the base board 2|. The construction provides for windows 22 and doors 23 wherever they are desired. 15

The outer surface 24 of the wall units can be made of stucco or other material on metal lath secured to the cork insulation 26 supported by the wall boards nailed to the studding 20. The wall surface 24 can be finished to imitate bricks, 20 as shown in the drawings, by simply imbedding flat bricks 56 of half an inch thick or so, in the stucco while wet.

The inner surface of the wall units has access openings 30 formed by leaving the studding 25 uncovered, these, access openings provide the necessary accessibility to secure the various units together, especially to secure the wall units with the bolts 32 and nuts 3|.

The floor units have the the first flooring 34 is fastened; on top of this flooring 34 and at right angles thereto the boards of the finished flooring 35 are fastened.

The floor unit as well as the other units are finished in the factory, the floor boards 35 be- 35 ing scraped, sandpapered and waxed ready for use. The other side of the floor unit, which is the ceiling for the storey below is .plastered as shown at 36.

The joists 33 project outwardly from the floor unit and are adapted to engage the access openings 30 and are secured to the improved studding with nuts and bolts. After the different units are secured together the access openings are concealed with base boards II.

The roof sections 31 are constructed in the same way as the framework already described and may be adapted to extend from the ridge 38 to the eaves 39 and 40. The outer surfaces of the roof sections are covered with waterproof material, the ridge cap II is made of two boards covered with waterproof material.

The partition or inner wall sections are made in the same way as the other units, the conjoists 33 on whichstruction providing for doors wherever they are desired.

The bathroom is also completely made at the factory in units similar to those already described, except that the floor sections and wall 'sections are tiled and provided with the usual bathroom fixtures, such as bath, closet, wash basin'etc.

All the water and ventilation piping sections are concealed and supported in the wall or floor sections from which they project outwardly ready -for connection; The hot and cold water pipe sections 42 and 43 are connected with pipe unions,

the drains 44 and 45 are telescoped into one' another and caulked with lead under the baseboard 46.

The roof sections may be treated in any desired manner so as to imitate tiles or slates and the outer wall section may also be finished o'fl to represent stone. v

The wall sections are secured to the basement I wall sections l8 and the posts l1 through the baseboards 2|, having the' holes 60 adapted to be engaged by the anchor bolts l8 and the nuts II. The wall sections are hooked to one another at 13 and l4 and rigidly secured with the bolts 61.

Therefore it will be seen that a dwelling house or the like of standardized design can be constructed merely by securing together matching units, such as standard wall sections, sections having windows, or doors, floor sections and so on.

What I claim is:

1. A sectional ready made house, comprising a plurality of box sections having upper and lower divisions open to the inside at top and bottom and including a window frame supported by inner and outer walls and vertical studding members projecting into said upper and lower divisions said studding members forming within' said upper and lower divisions floor joist anchoring pieces, and floors having projecting joists permanently attached'to the floors and fastened to the anchoring pieces,.and sides also projecting inwardly parallel with said joists and rigidly securing through the said studding members the box section .sides'upright directly to the floor structure.

2. A sectional ready made house, comprising a plurality of'box sections having upper and lower divisions open to the inside at top and bottom and including a window frame supported by inner and outer walls and vertical studding members projecting into said upper and lower divisions, said studding members forming within said upper and lowe'r divisions 'floor joist anchor by inner and outer walls and vertical studding members projecting into said upper and lower divisions, said studding members forming within said upper and lower divisions floor joist anchoring pieces, and floor section's having joists permanently attached to the floor surface on the top and to ceiling surface on the lower side, and projecting outwardly. therefrom and fastened to the said anchoring pieces, sides closing .said floor sections also projecting outwardly parallel with said joists and secured-to the inner side of the outer studding members and rigidly 'securingthe'box section, sides and floors, and

a skirt board resting on said floor surface and secured to said wall to complete the structure.

4. A sectional ready made house, comprising a plurality of box sections having upper and lower. divisions open to the inside-at top and bottom including'a window frame supported by inner and outer walls and vertical studding members projecting into said upper and lower divisions, said studding members forming within said upper and lower divisions floor joist anchoring pieces, and floor sections having joists permanently attached to the floor surface onthe top and to ceiling surface on the lower side and projecting outwardly therefrom and fastened to the said anchoring pieces, said'floor and ceiling surfaces being carried inwardly within the line of said inner walland abutting said anchoring pieces.
